I got two funny stories happened to me yesterday. I was assigned by my boss to attend a meeting with Exxon Mobil person at Menara Exxon Mobil near to KLCC. I don’t really prefer to be assign a last minute meeting, but, what to do, I’m not a boss. The story begins like this.

My mobile phone outgoing call barred due to my bill has reached its credit limit. I have to wait for the sales ™ person to call me up because we promised each other to meet at 3:30pm at the lobby since the meeting will start at 4:00pm for a simple brief from him about the meeting. I haven’t meet this sales person, so I have to make a ‘wild’ guest. I arrived at Menara Exxon Mobil around 3:50pm, and I was 20 minutes late.

Once I reached the lobby, I hurriedly search for a Malay guy that sat at the sofa at the lobby. And I found one and he was with one lady that wear On The Run t-shirt and holding TM’s official letter. I look at him by hope he was the guy that I supposed to meet. I saw him having a ‘big’ discussion with that lady, so I made a fast decision to sit and wait at the sofa next to him in regards don’t want to disturb him talking to our partner. But their conversation doesn’t looks like he represents TM, but Exxon’s because that lady keeps scolding him. I just wait there until they had finished talking. I tried to talk to him, “are you en Mat Noor?” but he replied no. I started to blush but I have to act as cool as I can. I tried to make a little more conversation with those Exxon people before leaving them for a registration counter and ask for en Mat Noor existence.

The fact was, en Mat Noor haven’t register his name yet which means he haven’t arrived. I sat at the other corner of the lobby, waiting for him. A minute later, one guy came in holding an organizer that look like mine and sat in front of me but he doesn’t look like Malay. And I started to guess, was he the one? He started to pull out his mobile phone from his pocket and started dialing. Suddenly my phone rang and saw Mat Noor names appear. Without thinking much, I raised my hand and smile at the guy in front of me while the other hand flipping up the phone and try to talk. When I saw the guy in front of me not talking while the person who called me talked, I knew that I made a wrong assumption again.

En Mat Noor told me that he was sorry because he’ll be a ‘little’ late and already called Exxon Mobil person to drag the meeting to 4:30pm. And the story ends.

So, the lessons to learn here are:
1. Do not make an assumption/guess
2. Please un-bar your mobile phone
3. Tell your date that you are late
